Which one of the following schist belt does not belong to Dharwar craton ?

  • A.Shimoga schist belt
  • B.Nuggihalli schist belt
  • C.Gangpur schist belt
  • D.Sargur schist belt

Answer: C

The schist belt outside the Dharwar craton is the Gangpur schist belt.

The Gangpur Group lies in north-western Odisha, on the margin of the Singhbhum craton, far from the Dharwar craton of Karnataka.

The other three are Dharwar belts. Shimoga is one of the large Dharwar Supergroup schist belts of the western Dharwar craton, and Nuggihalli and Sargur are older (Sargur Group) greenstone belts of the same craton in southern Karnataka.
